Thanks Bob great informative video! For those that might over-tighten and spin the Allen in the head.. you can use a torx head to fit in there tight and unscrew it. Just pick the size to fit in there very tight and unscrew it. Worst case.. if you can't get it out.. email Arken and you can get a new Turret for low cost with new screws. But as you said use the small length of the Allen wrench to tighten it down, with NOT the long length.
Thanks for the video and info. Not sure where I heard this maybe from you, but I put little bit of vibra-tite on all of the small allen screws. So far none have loosened up.
wouldn't those screws typically but up to a brass component? Just curious as I haven't seen inside of the turret cap. If they're making contact with the chrome plated tool the failure point would be very different I would think.
On my 6.5 PRC my turret screws came loose constantly. The screws allen wrench socket rounded out. Decided to upgrade this rifle to a Vortex Gen lll Razor and moved the scope to a rifle with less recoil.
Just get a pair of channel locks and turn them until you strip them out. Or break the Allen wrench off in them. Some of your stuff is good. And some of your stuff it is because you don’t get enough attention from your pet goldfish. Pretty much common sense that everyone knows but then treat everyone like they’re not as smart as you.
No goldfish here. I do however get a LOT of private massages from owners from many different platforms. Much of what you coin common sense or optic/mechanical knowledge is not so understood by many. People reach out asking me questions. When I notice it being a re-occuring issue it sometimes prompts me to make content. Other times people outright ask me to do so.....this content is that. But sure, I get it...but many don't and that's why some seemingly elementary stuff is published.

Great idea
Thanks for the video, never had problem with them coming loose
Good to hear

Yes...that works great

They are against a stainless part on this application

That's one way to do it.
I think some people are just...dumb 😂 I've never once had mine come loose. Snug em up lightly, and no threadlocker.
Well many over cautious
me either I probably got and run around 20 of them

Cool, Arken allen wrench’s have a built in click stixs
Tightened it up until the allen “clicks”, then strips then rounds off the wrench and sockets. 😂
It's called dummy-proof design... new screws are cheaper than new turrets.. lol
I mean...prob not intentionally done...but it does save the cap.
Mine stripped with less effort than that
Did you replace them?
@@RugerGundog not yet , just ordered them
